History[]
Deadly Class (Comic Book Series)[]
The descendent of samurais, Saya Kuroki is the daughter of a powerful Tokyo Yakuza syndicate boss. Saya's father demands that his daughter avoid his criminal legacy, sending her to a school where she sets up an impromptu gambling ring. Later, Saya's brother, Kenji, argues with his father and neighboring Yakuza boss, Eto, to introduce drugs and human trafficking into their operations. Eto and Kuroki senior refuse, enraging Kenji. At a club frequented by various second-generation Yakuza members, a group refuses Kenji's company, claiming he's too poor. Saya approaches that same group, flashing a wad of money earned from her illegal gambling racket. The clique accepts her into their ranks and allows her to cover her back and arms in irezumi, or traditional Japanese tattoos, marveling at her lack of response to the painful ordeal.
Enraged, Kenji slaughters Eto and frames Saya for the assassination. When Eto's syndicate demands justice, Saya's father performs a ritual suicide, or seppuku, as penance, acknowledging that Kenji killed Eto. Years later, Kenji operates the Kuroki syndicate with a merciless fist, and returns to the United States to retrieve his baby sister and kill her classmates.
Deadly Class (TV Series)[]
A member of the Japanese-based criminal organization, Saya moves away from her homeland, Tokyo, Japan to the United States, choosing to attend King's Dominion in an effort to perfect her craft in the deadly arts. During her time at the academy, she watches, aids, and sponsors newest recruit Marcus Lopez, while fending off against the Kuroki Syndicate who attempt to recollect her, having left Japan on "not good terms."
